If you're referring to the code in mailboxfile() in env_nt.c, you are
correct. However, this is more of a comment issue than a code error; the
code is arguably correct as-is.
What the code is really doing is seeing if the path is absolute or is to
another device.
If not, then it makes the path absolute by prefixing it with the home
directory. It can't do that when the path refers to another device,
because the home directory only exists on the home device. In that case,
you're stuck with either forcing the other device reference to be a rooted
name (that is, inserting \ after the :) or just leaving it alone.
The concensus seemed to be to leave it alone.
